Rambo: Last Blood

You could write the plot on the back of a postage stamp and at times it feels like a straight to video Steven Segal film or something.
An hour and a half flew by though, and if all you're after is to see Rambo fucking up some baddies it's good fun.
Not as good as the last Rambo but better than III and probably better than II.

Vile film. All Mexicans are rapists, traffickers and generally nasty people.

Build the wall!

Horrible film and a stain on the name of 'First Blood' which was the exact opposite.

Nemesis
Judge Death
Halo Jones
Rogue Trooper.

Looking for £150 (which includes postage within the UK).

Also the buyer will get first dibs on the remaining 2 figures as I get them for £35 each (which includes UK postage).

PM if interested. Will happily knock this down to £135 if buyer collects.
I live on the South Cambridgeshire/ Bedford border 5 minutes from the A1.

I've got those Sandman books too and they are beautiful.
The DC Golden Age archives have great bindings too as do the majority of the Marvel omnibuses.
I guess you get what you pay for.

this guy has truly lost it by trying to charge £999.99 for each of these copies from the Judge Dredd Mega Collection

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_ssn=readmore.books&_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=judge+dredd&_sop=16

I'm going to be charitable and assume he's made a mistake and these should be £9.99.

Any mention of Scorcese reminds me how thrilled I was by the trailer for The Irishman.

As was I.

Looking forward to it very much.

I watched it twice in the space of 3 days and loved it both times.

It's definitely up there as a favourite of QT's films. Probably behind Jackie Brown and Inglorious Bastards but not by much.

I quite enjoyed Krampus too (although not as much as the Inside No 9 Krampus episode).

It appears that whenever I go into a film with expectations I am often disappointed but when I am expecting nothing I find myself far more relaxed and enjoy what is presented to me.

Having said that I would be far more prepared to re-watched It Chapter 2 than Scary Stories. It, is of course, far more layered than Scary Stories which is just a straight horror story.

I enjoyed It Chaper Two a lot, but I had been led to believe by a couple of reviews that it was a five-star masterpiece, and it isn't.

The Times and The Mail on Sunday both gave it two stars which I am inclined to agree with. Much preferred Chapter 1. In my opinion it's a fairly solid 3 star film.

And yes, even I can see the mistake I made there.

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

Not that bad tbh. Obviously aimed at the 15-19 year old market but more fun than I expected. Has the habit, as most films do these days (and I'm looking at you, It Chapter 2), of going on far too long.

Or, in short, [spoiler]the bullied bully the bully to death.[/spoiler]

Doesn't sit that well tbh. Unless I've read that wrong.

It. Chapter 2

A missed opportunity in my opinion. Whilst the first one built on friendship and felt more like 'Stand By Me' this one goes back to the tropes of horror films in the 80's and goes for jump shocks, which is a shame, and a complete waste of the excellent cast.

Direction is good but a lazy script lets it down quite badly. Good opening 15 minutes, good closing 5 minutes, everything inbetween is not up to the standards of the first film.

Heresy!

Even if I were never to read them again it would spoil the tapestry of the spine art!

(Each to their own though  :))

Just watched the first four episodes back to back. It's brilliant.
Not read the comic but have just ordered the first omnibus.
I have a feeling this is going to cost me  :lol:

I have Region 1 DVD's of all 3 Despecialised and these are legit. Had them awhile. Think they were released around the time the first of the prequels came out. They also have the correct soundtracks.
